We are doing this on the 20th (tuesday) instead. This is because maintenance work is being done on the rail line tomorrow and i wouldn't be able to get to Steve's, do the cert, and back for work in time.

I didn't close it. That's all i'm gonna say! About 1/8'' or so off, maybe a hair more. No point wasting time judging my attempts. I was having a very strong gripper day - strongest i have ever been with either hand - so it's not like i was off or anything - at the end of the day i just need to TRAIN HARDER and GET STRONGER!! I will cert on this eventually. With reference to the eye of the tiger comments in this thread and this morning, even Rocky didn't beat Apollo Creed first time round.

It's that force of will that has motivated me, so far. You're, what? HALF the age of your peers? My vote Salomi for the MM9!
You'll get there big guy.

BIG guy? He don't know you vewwy well, do he?

Congratulations Steve! Just a formality for you I'm sure.

Sam, I like your attitude. You'll get it next time.

It'll annoy him now. He'll be more determined than before to get this done. We both trained legs before hand to get the old juices moving as well.

I am around 5'8'' and weigh about 268-270. Arms are 19'' chest is about 54''. So yeah 'big' but still a short arse.

Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragament - i'm going to try to cert on this one again when i think i am strong enough. Back to the drawing board for now then good old fashioned blood sweat and tears will get it done. Steve is right, failing to cert yesterday won't demotivate me, it'll just make me train harder.

I'll mail the gripper back in the morning.

Sam

Nice work Steve, but no surprise! :rock

Sam, certainly you'll only get stronger because of this minor disappointment. :rock
